Getting better at making the chapatis now, thought I’d experiment a little bit…
Meatball sandwich
The first time I had a meatball sandwich was in 2003! Yes, I remember, because it was that good. To this day I remember the taste. Here is my go at it…
Lemon pepper chicken with rice and spinach
Oven cooking is great if you want to have a relaxing evening. Only thing is depending on what you’re making, you may have to plan ahead a little bit. It’s always worth it though…
Steamed tilapia, sweet peas and sweetcorn on white rice, topped with star anise white sauce
It’s a funny looking experiment but I assure you it’s worth the trouble. Ignore what it looks like, think about the mix of flavours (^_^)
Fried liver with baked sweet potatoes and pumpkin leaves
It sounds like an odd combination but it is pleasantly quite the happy burst of flavour. You absolutely should try it.
Rice+peas, tilapia, caramelised onions, pumpkin leaves+comfrey
I couldn’t come up with what to call this so I just listed everything in the heading (^_^)
Chapos with ndengu and matumbo
So, I made way too much ndengu the other day (^_^) The good news is half of this meal is ready!
Marinade – Lemon pepper chicken
A marinade from a friend (^_^) — some of the great things friends are for, sharing recipes. I Just marinate the chicken in this post so read on to get the ingredients, I’ll make another post once I cook the chicken.
Honey roasted lamb with cassava
I’ve tried adding honey several times but this is the first time it come out right. The sweet notes were just right. Try it out…
Mama’s chicken stew
I learned this from my Mother a very long time ago. It’s very simple, has nothing fancy but it’s very tasty.

Have ever tried a little curry powder in your liver stew? Well neither had I until now, and I think I like it better with the curry…
Pasta and meat sauce
This is a deliciously flavourful meat sauce, just the right balance of herbs and spices \(^_^)/ It is a must try. Give your family a treat this week. And make plenty, it’s guaranteed to inspire second helpings.
Lamb curry and rice
I pulled out what I thought was a meaty thigh piece to defrost but it turned out to be a back bone piece. Not a lot of meat. It was quite a task to get it off the bones!
Sausage stir-fry
Sausages have been a breakfast favourite ever since I was a child. I don’t remember them being served any other way other than plain pan/deep fried. But it doesn’t have to always be that way, after all it’s meat (yes, with lots of other stuff in it but…) and that makes it good for cooking many other ways.
Try this version next time you have them for breakfast.
Ugali and chicken stew
It doesn’t really matter how you cook it, you can never go wrong with chicken. I think everyone should have a couple of chicken recipes down. My favourite way to have it is stewed, so nicely that even the marrow is tasty. When I make my favourite chicken stew not even the bones are left intact. But that’s story for another day,…
Tilapia with celery sauce
I was feeling a little creative, I have no idea where I pulled this from but it has to be made again. Very tasty!
Lamb ribs with potatoes and butternut
The oven is your friend. It can take over dinner while you rest.
Ugali, goat liver and sukuma
I really like liver. I think it’s one of the tastiest meats around. Goat, sheep, cow — I’m not picky, except for chicken livers, for some reason I just can’t bring myself to eat chicken livers, yet.
Chicken in garlic and mint
You win some you lose some! Can’t be perfect at everything. My second attempt with the garlic and mint was completely rejected! But I came back strong with this chicken recipe…
Minced beef and spinach linguini
A tasty minced beef recipe, delicious with any pasta of your choice.
Lamb + roasted potatoes
Check out what I did with the mint and garlic marinade I made a few days ago…
Tilapia in garlic & rosemary
Fish is a challenge for me because it’s not something I was keen on learning how to make while growing up,… or even after I grew up. But it’s never too late for anything…
